Bug #53323 for Crypt-OpenPGP: Failing on 64bit machines

Sun Jan 03 15:59:51 2010 ANDK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Failing on 64bit machines

In case you haven't yet heard about it: http://analysis.cpantesters.org/solved?distv=Crypt-OpenPGP-1.04 Statistical analysis shows that your tests fail on machines with longsize=8 and use64bitall=define and longdoublesize=16 Failed test is always 'digest data matches' At least so far, after 36 cpantesters reports. I hope this helps you a little, Regards,

Yep, I know. It's actually not a bug in Crypt::OpenPGP; it's a bug in Crypt::RIPEMD160, and that bug is reported here: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=19138

I emailed the author of that module a couple of weeks ago, but the email bounced. I haven't had a chance to come up with an alternate solution, yet, since there isn't another RIPEMD-160 implementation on CPAN.

RIPEMD hasn't been touched since 2001. I'm going through the process to try to take over the process and get the module patched. I'm hoping to have this done within the month.

Was this take over successful? I'd be quite interested in getting this fixed.

I've released a dev version of Crypt::RIPEMD160 today (0.04_01) if cpantesters does not blow up, I'll have a stable version out this week. At which point, I believe this ticket should be resolved?

Crypt::RIPEMD160 0.05 is out now. Perhaps a good fix for this RT would be to explicitly require 0.05 minimum in Makefile.PL?
